Marshall Minor EarBuds

After reviewing the Marshall Major Headphones a few weeks ago, I was really excited to see if the Minor Ear Buds live up to the hype as well. The attractive black and gold color gives these earbuds a classy rock and roll look. The Minor headphones have a different design from any earbuds i have seen. The cable is strong and durable because it is surrounded by a braided fabric. The minors come with a microphone and a control for your Ipod on the cable. Is there anything worse than having to take out your MP3 player when you want to change the song or volume? If there is, please let me know in the comment section.

The earbuds sound great for a wide variety of music. The bass isn't as heavy as the Beats By Dre earbuds because the Marshall enthusiasts are predominantly listening to a different style of music so it's not necessary. The unique shape of the earbuds have gotten some negative reviews by users for being uncomfortable, but I found them more comfortable than the Dre Beats ones that feel like they are halfway down your ear canal. Since the comfort of earbuds is different to each person, my only suggestion would be to try the Marshall Minor's first and see if you like them before purchasing them.

Marshall Major Headphones

Marshall is a British company that is known for their premium music amplifiers. The Marshall company is synonymous with everything rock n' roll. Most famous musicians use Marshall amplifiers when on tour. Recently, they have developed their first signature headphones.
The Marshall headphones feature a classic and elegant design that fits the same style that their company is known for. The band and earcups are covered in vinyl, just like most of Marshall's amps. These are on-ear instead of around-ear headphones. The signature Marshall logo is located on the outside of each earcup. Another feature is the gold plated Marshall plak that can be found in the middle of the band, above the L and R signs.  There is a gold Jim Marshall (founder) signature underneath the earband which I really like. Sound quality is good but not for every genre type. Another problem I have with these is that they are called collapsible when they aren't. Overall, the Marshall Major's are a great option for fans of the company and those who want a classic and elegant look with their headphones.
